Im officially done with earring crafting

I've crafted- and fused- about 200 pairs of Half Earrings so far, and out of those I have got 3 that had excellent potential, and of those 3, only 1 has actually sold. No one even wants 6% earrings anymore, people won't buy below 9%. I have a 6% INT and a 6% INT/6% LUK earring that no one wants. Checking prices in FM I see that 6% pairs have gotten cheap, even the 6% DEX pairs aren't more than 20 mil. Just today I crafted 16 pairs(which was 6 total trips into the intermediate fields for bronze ore, plus the intermediate crystals I had to use), and of those 16 crafted, 1 was potential. I fused them all, got 1 potential pair out of those 8 fusings, and it was junk. Then I fused it with another potential pair, which should give a potential, and got a clean one.

I don't know how people are getting 9% or above pairs, and I don't care. This game is already a broken mess thanks to Nexon and I don't have time or patience for this, because if I ever do get a 9% pair, I'll have spent so much money on plate molds, abrasives and alchemy stones that I won't break even. I'd rather take that time mining and get black veins, because black and dark crystals are guaranteed sales, and just sell the intermediate crystals because I know I can get money for them too.

I tried making earrings for a bit too.. I actually got relatively lucky. Made a 9% dex and traded em for 9% luck. Im too broke to keep doing it now though @_@

No offense, but all I'm hearing is whining.
Mining and smithing is available to everyone. They've made it so easy now that you can literally sit back and relax while your char refines those hundreds of ores and then turn them into earrings. Not to mention the fact that you can just buy the ores needed for half earrings. I'm surprised people still buy them.

There's way too much supply for them to be profitable anymore.
